No matter what you achieved this year, celebrate yourself.

Every effort, every dedication, every wave of determination, patience, and persistence takes energy — and that energy flows from the core of who you are.

No matter what you faced this year, appreciate yourself.

For the problems you solved, for the courage you harnessed, for the wisdom you gained, and for the willingness to grow, even when it hurts.

No matter what you fell short of or exceeded this year, thank yourself.

Give yourself gratitude for showing up, even on “those days” where you doubted yourself or thought about giving up completely.

No matter where you are right now as we close out another year, love yourself.

For who you are  authentically— the raw truth.

For the qualities that make you, you.

For how far you have come,

For how much you have handled,

For how strong you have been,

For how you have lit up the world around you,

For how you have loved,

For how you have lived,

For your vulnerability and your gifts,

For every single thing that makes you beautiful.

You deserve the credit you desire. The love you crave. The appreciation you need. The moment of reflection you require. The rest you will benefit from.

Make peace — with it all.

Just be.

Just feel.

Just love.

It’s all coming together.

Reflect, rest, rejuvenate, and come into the next year anew.
